Actual Lines (And GIFs) From Tech Recruiter Emails
Inspired by CJ Quines’s original blog post, which may or may not be a joke, hard to tell… Anyway, the following are real, I promise!
“Tomer?” (this was the whole email)
“Transform an unsexy industry!”
“I totally get it 😂 these emails are super annoying, right?”
“How are you?!”
“Another technical recruiter here, trying to gas you and see if you’d like to discuss. Annoyed, non-plussed, or charmed? Lmk for research purposes…”
“We also offer a referral bonus – we’ll treat you to any restaurant of your choice if you refer a person that we hire.”
“Exactly the muscle and firepower we need! 🔥”
“The engineering team remains embryonic.”
“Your FP iterator library (lfi) shows the design taste we need for shopping AI that feels human.”
“Me again 🙂”
“I came across your details via some of your impressive open source projects like eslint-config.”
“A career is like a frog in boiling water.”
“Quick question: What’s the difference between debugging code and my follow-up game? One actually gets results 😅”
“With this software, there’s no way in hell Ferris Bueller would’ve had so many days off.”
“Yo yo yo!!”
“Dropping some more heat 🔥…”
“Trust me I don’t want to be a pest here, Tomer, but I’d be silly if I didn’t insist on getting your attention.”
“P.S. Here’s another attempt to make my emails more enjoyable: The glass is your inbox. The manatee is my email. Together they create the aforementioned bump!”
